Abstract: An apparatus can include an electrochromic device. When using the apparatus, the electrochromic device can be switched from a first transmission state to a continuously graded state and maintained at continuously graded transmission state. An apparatus can include an active stack with a first transparent conductive layer, a second transparent conductive layer, an anodic electrochemical layer between the first and the second transparent conductive layers, and a cathodic electrochemical layer between the first and the second transparent conductive layers. The apparatus can further include a first bus bar electrically coupled to the first transparent conductive layer, a second bus bar electrically coupled to the second transparent conductive layer, where the second bus bar is generally non-parallel to the first bus bar, and a third bus bar electrically coupled to the first transparent conductive layer, where the third bus bar is generally parallel to the first bus bar.

Abstract: A frameless support system for electroactive devices is disclosed. The frameless system can include a non-penetrating mount, a first electroactive device, and a second electroactive device adjacent the first electroactive device where the non-penetrating mount connects the first electroactive device to the second electroactive device, and where the non-penetrating mount is on only a single surface of the first and second electroactive devices. In a further embodiment, and least one of the first and second electroactive devices can further include: a substrate; a first transparent conductive layer; a second transparent conductive layer between the substrate and the first transparent conductive layer; an electrochromic layer between the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer; and an anodic electrochemical layer between the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for remote monitoring and controlling of electrochromic glass are described. In some embodiments, a device monitoring and control system can receive messages via a communication hub from a plurality of remote installation sites for electrochromic glass units. The messages include telemetry data associated with the electrochromic glass units. The system can stream the telemetry data to a data analytics engine that can perform analytics functions on the telemetry data. The system provides results of the analytics functions to remote destinations via a data analytics interface. The system can also receive, via a control interface, control instructions from remote sources to control one or more of the electrochromic glass units. The system can transmit control messages to the installation sites to implement the control instructions. The system can also establish a connection for a requestor to an installation site using a site's specific connection protocol.

Abstract: An electrochromic device is structured to restrict moisture permeation between an electrochromic stack in the device and an external environment. The electrochromic device includes conductive layers and one or more encapsulation layers, where the encapsulation layers and conductive layers collectively isolate the electrochromic stack from the ambient environment. The encapsulation layers resist moisture permeation, and at least the outer portions of the conductive layers resist moisture permeation. The moisture-resistant electrochromic device can be fabricated based at least in part upon selective removal of one or more outer portions of at least the EC stack, so that at least the encapsulation layer extends over one or more edge portions of the EC stack to isolate the edge portions of the EC stack from the ambient environment. The encapsulation layer can include one or more of an anti-reflective layer, infrared cut-off filter, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an electroactive device having a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and one or more electroactive layers sandwiched between the first and second conductive layers. One or more adjacent layers of the electroactive device may include a physical separation between a first portion and a second portion of the adjacent layers, the physical separation defining a respective tapered sidewall of each of the first and second portions. The one or more adjacent layers may include one of the first and second conductive layers. The remaining layers of the electroactive device may be formed over the physical separation of the one or more adjacent layers. The remaining layers may include the other of the first and second conductive layers.

Abstract: An assembly can include a first substrate, a second substrate, a non-light-emitting, variable transmission device deposited on the first substrate, and a transparent light-emitting device deposited on the second substrate, where the non-light-emitting, variable transmission device faces the transparent light-emitting device, and where the non-light emitting device alters an intensity of a wavelength prior to reaching the transparent light-emitting device.

Abstract: An integrated computerized control system is capable of automating phases of electrochromic glass configuration, commissioning and control using a database synchronized between a provider side (e.g. manufacturer) and a customer side (e.g. installation location). The control system may support an on-site commissioning process that better ensures that each particular piece of electrochromic glass is correctly matched to glass-specific information used to configure a respective controller to control the particular piece of glass having particular characteristics.

Abstract: An electrochemical device and method of forming said electrochemical device is disclosed. The method can include providing a substrate and a stack overlying the substrate. The stack can include a first transparent conductive layer over the substrate, a cathodic electrochemical layer over the first transparent conductive layer, an anodic electrochemical layer over the electrochromic layer, and a second transparent conductive layer overlying the anodic electrochemical layer. The method can further include determining a first pattern for the first transparent conductive layer. The first pattern can include a first region and a second region. The first region and the second region can include the same material. The method can also include patterning the first region of the first transparent conductive layer without removing the material from the first region. After patterning, the first region can have a first resistivity and the second region can have a second resistivity.
